This FTDI FT232RL based USB to RS485 adapter provides a reliable bridge between a PC and Siemens SIMATIC PLCs. The DSUB 15 pin male connector carries RS485 signals to the PLC port, while the USB connection to the PC is handled by the FT232RL chip. The cable length is 3 meters, and the listed color attribute is FT232RL CHIP. Key benefits Simple PC to PLC RS485 communication: Enables straightforward programming, diagnostics, and data exchange between a PC and Siemens SIMATIC PLCs via a robust RS485 link. FTDI driven reliability: Uses the FT232RL USB to UART bridge for stable USB connectivity and broad driver support. Compatible and standard: DB15 male RS485 interface matches common Siemens SIMATIC PLC ports for easy integration. Flexible installation: With a 3 meter length, you can setup on a bench or on a small production floor without crowding devices. Plug and play with drivers: Works with standard FTDI drivers on supported operating systems, simplifying setup and reducing configuration time.
